It would be a good idea to support SVG files so that you don't have to manually draw the path. SVG files are vector images, so the path can be extracted and used to create the drawing.

I followed the README to run your code. But it seems that the config file is missing. The idea of the project is great. I am really wondering how you implement the extraction of outline of people in the image. I try to read your code, but I did not find it.

On Mac OS with python 3.7:

How do I simulate the epicycles just like the demo video?
I just want to make a video out of it without the image or the yellow drawing dots

Have you tried using pygame.gfxdraw for smooth shapes?
And also is there a way to get video output of the drawing? Sharing the work is all the fun

I would like to try this out but upon loading it into windows ubuntu
python3 ./Fourier/main.py saint jalm.jpg

it just gives me this error

Its possible i'm just missing something but I have spent a couple of hours just getting here since for whatever reason nothing wanted to install properly.
